I don't know what more people want from him. He's raised good kids who apparently love him; he's written music that will last for generations; his lyrics are part of our lexicon; and he's stated clearly, righteously and publicly the faith in Jesus Christ which brought him peace.

Who among us has done more?

I have NO problem with people not liking his music..or his voice...we have different tastes...Some folks cannot stand to hear him sign (particularly now)...my wife is one of those...in fact, most females don't like to hear his voice these days...

However, he still writes incredible music and great lyrics...such as Moonlight on the Love and Theft album...or, Make You Feel My Love, from the Time Out of Mind album.

I only wanted to set the record straight about the claim that he is a LEFTY through and through, and false claims about his faith...

In fact, he STILL sneaks some lyrics into his songs about his faith...from the Love and Theft album:

Your charms have broken many a heart and mine is surely one
You got a way of tearing the world apart, love, see what you've done
Just as sure as we're living, just as sure as you're born,
Look up, look up, seek your Maker, 'fore Gabriel blows his horn

Well said...I just laugh at ignorant comments regarding Bob. I'll say it again, if people don't like his music or voice that is a fair and sometimes a deserved slam. But to try to say that he is a lefty or renounced Christ is just not factually true.
I was drawn to his music in 1980, when I heard the Slow Train album, I have been a fan ever since. The bible has been a major influence on his work from the start.A lot of people don't even know that "All Along the Watchtower" is from Isiah, chapter 21 .There are some good books on Dylan and the bible.
I don't view him as some great prophet or "voice of a generation", all that is garbage. I appreciate him as a great writer and storyteller.I like Bob's own description
" I'm just a song and dance man."
